An "assessment blueprint" is a document that indicates the knowledge and skills that will be
covered in an assessment instrument and the percentage of the assessment that will be devoted
to each area of knowledge and skills. The Minnesota assessment blueprints will be used to
review the appropriateness of existing assessments by determining how closely those
assessments match up to what the Audio/Video Technology and Film career pathway teams
have determined should be assessed. The assessment blueprints can also be used to guide the
development of new assessments where suitable third-party assessments do not exist.
